Adherence Report
The Adherence Report helps supervisors and workforce management (WFM) planners monitor agent schedule adherence and conformance. This report provides real-time insights into how closely agents follow their assigned schedules, making it easier to identify trends, reward high performers, and address deviations quickly.
Adherence is calculated and reported after every three hours. If an agent was not scheduled for work, but worked anyway, no value will be displayed for conformance metrics.
Any updates to agent schedules within the previous three months will be considered for adherence calculations (or recalculations) after the schedules have been republished.
Adherence is calculated only for the period when an agent is active. After an agent is deactivated, their future schedules are excluded from adherence calculations and no longer appear in the report, ensuring supervisors see only relevant data. Adherence data from the agent’s active period remains available.
Conformance is calculated by dividing working minutes by scheduled minutes. It is shown as a percentage.
Marianne Dashwood, an agent at Classics, Inc., is scheduled to work eight hours, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. She works from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Because she worked eight hours, Marianne is in 100% conformance. But because she didn't work exactly during her schedule, she is not in 100% adherence.
From 9:00 to 9:20, she has an adherence value of 0 minutes. From 9:20 to 9:40, she has an adherence value of 10 minutes.

Agent Summary Widget
Shows the total time each agent spent in scheduled activities, in adherence, out of adherence, and in/out of conformance. Columns include:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Agent | Name of the agent. |
| Scheduling Unit | Name of the scheduling unit that the agent is working in. |
| In Adherence | The amount of time the agent was in adherence. Displays in days, hours, minutes, seconds, or a combination. |
| In Adherence % | Percentage of time the agent followed their schedule. (Time in adherence / Scheduled time) x 100. |
| Out Adherence % | Percentage of time the agent did not follow their schedule. (Time out of adherence / Scheduled time) x 100. |
| Conformance | The amount of time the agent was in conformance. Displays in days, hours, minutes, seconds, or a combination. |
| Conformance % | Percentage of time the agent was in conformance. (Time in conformance / Scheduled time) x 100. |
Agent Adherence Variance Widget
The Agent Adherence Variance widget provides a scatter plot view of each agent's scheduled time, adherence percentage, and variance from the median. Supervisors and workforce managers can use this widget to understand schedule consistency for selected agents. It is configured as follows:
Default date range: Last 90 days
Additional filters for this widget include:
-
Employee Group: Team / Agent
-
Scheduling Unit
By default, the widget opens in Chart view.
Each dot on the scatter plot represents an agent, with the X-axis showing adherence percentage and the Y-axis showing total scheduled time (in minutes). A dashed vertical line marks the median adherence percentage of all selected agents and serves as a benchmark for comparison. Agents to the left of the line are below the median, while those to the right are above it.
The color of each dot indicates the agent's adherence level based on the legend, allowing supervisors to quickly identify areas that need attention.
| Color | Adherence Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | > 95% | Exceeds target-high adherence |
| Green | 85%-95% | On target-meets expected performance |
| Yellow | 70%-85% | Below target-monitor and coach |
| Red | < 70% | Critical-immediate attention required |

, then Widget Display to change the view to Table.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Agent | Name of the agent |
| Scheduled Time | Total scheduled time in minutes |
| In Adherence % | Percentage of time the agent adhered to the schedule |
| % Median | Median adherence percentage across selected agents |
| Variance from Median (%) | Percent difference from the team median adherence |
Activity Summary Widget
This widget presents the total time the agent spent out of adherence for each activity, percentage of the original scheduled time the agent spent out of adherence, total time the agent spent in conformance for each activity, percentage of the original scheduled time the agent spent in conformance.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Activity | The name of the activity as it appears on agents' schedules. |
| Scheduled | The amount of time the activity was scheduled for agents. |
| Actual | The amount of time agents spent in the activity. |
| Out | The amount of time agents scheduled for the activity were out of adherence. |
| Out % | Percentage of time agents scheduled for the activity were out of adherence. (Time out of adherence / Scheduled time) x 100. |
| Conformance | The amount of time agents scheduled for the activity were in conformance. |
| Conformance % | Percentage of time agents scheduled for the activity were in conformance. (Time in conformance / Scheduled time) x 100. |
Adherence Over Time Widget
Shows adherence trends for the configured date range to help supervisors monitor performance over time and identify periods of high or low adherence.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | The calendar date for each row of adherence data. This column identifies the specific day within the selected reporting period (for example, each of the last 30 days), allowing you to view and compare adherence metrics (In Adherence, Out of Adherence, Scheduled Time) for each individual day. |
| In Adherence | The total time agents were in adherence during each interval. |
| Out of Adherence | The total time agents were out of adherence during each interval. |
| Scheduled Time | The total scheduled time for agents during each interval. |
OOA Cause Widget
The OOA Cause widget displays the activities agents actually performed when they were out of adherence, compared to what was scheduled. Select one or more scheduled activities to view mismatches. Supervisors and workforce managers can use this widget to understand the root causes of adherence issues and take corrective action. It is configured as follows:
Default date range: Last 90 days
Default Activities: All

-
Employee Group: Team / Agent
-
Scheduled Activities
-
